Howdy Listers! As Listowner I have the pleasure/duty/responsibility/chore/task/privilege/misery (choose one or more) of running the TXBELL mailing list. (It's been a pleasure, so far!) If you are familiar with mailing list operations, you know the listowner has absolute control of the list and what goes into it. He/she can unsubscribe members without notice, reject mailing addresses, add subscribers, delete posts from the archives, and all sorts of other things. I haven't seen anything on the list recently that as yet warrants my intervention. Ya'll just be sure to play nicely and there won't be any callouts outside the saloon. Let's get on with sharing Bell County's history and genealogy. If you've got something about the County history or genealogy you think would be interesting to the list, please post it, especially given that the County's 150th anniversary of founding is upcoming next year. (There is to be a new web page, perhaps operational today, at www.vvm.com/sqc I think.) I, for one, am NOT a Bell County history or genealogy expert... but am enjoying the things you share about it. You folks are where much of this sort of info is held. If you aren't sure about the appropriateness of a post, send it to me first and I'll give you an opinion (it's one of my functions). If you have a problem with what's presently on the different web pages I webmaster (a function I've not done before) that's okay.... it's slow work, and developing better working concepts takes time.... we've all got other things we do that either are what pays our salary (our job) or are other things for which we volunteer to help (not everyone lives and breathes only genealogy). So, patience is appreciated. There are several of you who have offered to assist in inputting text, or updating history or cemetery information, or making suggestions about how to make the Bell County pages better. Thanks.. It's about time to fall back a couple of days and re-group to see where time is next best spent.
